+
+## `rtc_clk_init: Possibly invalid CONFIG_XTAL_FREQ setting`
+
+This issue is reported by users using an ESP32 module with a 26MHz crystal oscillator. The root
+cause of the issue is that the default bootloader flashed by espflash expects a 40MHz crystal.
+
+### If you are building an `esp-idf-sys` based project
+
+Make sure your [`sdkconfig`](https://github.com/esp-rs/esp-idf-sys/blob/master/BUILD-OPTIONS.md#sdkconfig)
+is set up properly to use a 26MHz crystal. It needs to contain the following configuration option:
+
+```
+CONFIG_XTAL_FREQ_26=y
+```
+
+You should also prefer using `cargo-espflash` over `espflash`. `cargo-espflash` integrates with your
+project and it will flash the bootloader that is built next to your project instead of the default
+one.
+
+If you want to use `espflash`, you need to specify an appropriate bootloader image using
+`--bootloader`. You can find the bootloader in `target/<your MCU's target folder>/<debug or release depending on your build>/build/esp-idf-sys-*/build/bootloader/bootloader.bin`
+
+### If you are building an `esp-hal` based project
+
+Make sure your HAL ([ESP32](https://docs.rs/esp32-hal/latest/esp32_hal/), [ESP32-C2](https://docs.rs/esp32c2-hal/latest/esp32c2_hal/))
+is configured to the correct crystal frequency. To do this, you must disable the default features
+and enable `xtal-26mhz` (besides the other default features).
+
+When flashing, you need to specify an appropriate bootloader image using `--bootloader`. Currently,
+you will need to build this bootloader using an `esp-idf` based project (Rust or C based should work
+equally, we recommend a project set up with [esp-idf-template](https://github.com/esp-rs/esp-idf-template)).

-### `sdkconfig.defaults` File is Updated but it Doesn't Appear to Have Had Any Effect

-cargo build
-```
-
-### The Documentation for the Crates Mentioned on This Page is out of Date or Missing
-
-Due to the [resource limits] imposed by [docs.rs], internet access is blocked while building documentation. For this reason, we are unable to build the documentation for `esp-idf-sys` or any crate depending on it.

-### A Stack Overflow in Task `main` has Been Detected
-
-If the second-stage bootloader reports this error, you likely need to increase the stack size for the main task. This can be accomplished by adding the following to the `sdkconfig.defaults` file:
-
-```text
-CONFIG_ESP_MAIN_TASK_STACK_SIZE=7000
-```
-
-In this example, we are allocating 7 kB for the main task's stack.
-
-### How to Disable Watchdog Timer(s)?
-
-Add to your `sdkconfig.defaults` file:
-
-```text
-CONFIG_INT_WDT=n
-CONFIG_ESP_TASK_WDT=n
-```
-
-Recall that you must clean your project before rebuilding when modifying these configuration files.
